The winter transfer is going on, and Benitez hates Zhong Cheng.

It was Zhong Cheng who cost the Liverpool team an extra 7.5 million euros. This guy is really not human!

Moreover, if the Liverpool team hadn't moved quickly at the time, it might be said that Skrtel would not have transferred to Liverpool, but transferred to other teams.

Anyway, at this time, Benitez is completely on the opposite side of Zhong Cheng!

However, apart from Liverpool, the other powerful players in the Premier League did not make any moves. They were clamoring for the introduction of Leeds United players. However, Leeds United directly declared that the players were not for sale and built a super strong fortress. Other giants did not make any moves.

The Red Devils and Manchester United only introduced Manucho, an African Angola striker. This young striker scored three goals in the African Cup of Africa just past and showed good strength. Many people praised Sir Alex Ferguson's vision. Only Zhong Cheng claimed that this was a terrible deal, and the name Manucho would soon disappear from everyone's eyes.

Everyone was amazed when they heard Zhong Cheng's words. Could it be that Manucho is really a scumbag?

The Manchester United fans naturally didn't believe it. They were furiously angry at Zhong Cheng, claiming that Zhong Cheng was a piece of rubbish. This guy must have read it wrong this time. Manucho is a genius, a super genius.

Crazy Loya is jealous this time, jealous that Manchester United has introduced such a genius.

Seeing these remarks, Zhong Cheng himself laughed!

The Arsenal team has not taken any action so far, and has not introduced any players. This is in line with their approach. Arsenal rarely sign in during the winter. Well, some people said, even if they transfer to Arsenal in the summer, they won't bring in any players?

But last summer, the Arsenal team had a lot of bleeding. They took away Darren Bent, Nicholas Bendtner, Thomas Vermaelen, Diaby and others from Leeds United. It cost a lot of money!

However, Arsenal fans and executives think that the money is well spent. After all, Arsenal’s performance in the Premier League this season is much better. Now they are directly behind Chelsea and Liverpool. This season is very likely to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. This investment is very good.

Originally, they also wanted to introduce some players from Leeds United this winter to improve Arsenal's performance, but Leeds United did not sell them, so they had no intention of making a move in the transfer market!

Of course, the mid-range teams in the Premier League are still very good at shooting, such as Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth. A lot of money is spent here.

No wonder Tottenham Hotspur want to introduce Leeds United's left-back Gareth Bale. Their defense is really terrible, it is simply the most garbage defense in the Premier League, conceding so many goals.

The number of goals conceded by Tottenham Hotspur ranks third, which is the same as that of Derby County, the deputy squad leader of the league, who only scored seven points. The top three teams conceded 49 goals.

At this time, the teams in the relegation zone are also aggressively signing in, and the reinforcement teams hope to succeed in relegation.

But these relegation teams can't spend too much money. The players they introduced are all low-priced and not very strong players. The introduction of so many players may not be able to enhance their strength. But if no players are introduced, they will have no hope now, so many media claim that these relegation teams are just spending money to buy hope, especially Derby County!

After the twenty-third round of the Premier League, Leeds United will usher in another very busy week. In this week, Leeds United is going to play three games a week!

Yes, everyone heard it right, Leeds United is going to play three games a week.

That is to say, under the current situation, Leeds United will play a game every two days on average, and the strength of Leeds United's opponents during this period is not weak. First they will face their city rivals Sheffield United in the FA Cup, then two days later they will face Chelsea at Elland Road, their home stadium, in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, and they will play the Red Army Liverpool in the Premier League on the weekend.

Therefore, during this period of time, there are really too many games for Leeds United.

Yes, the UEFA Champions League game has not yet arrived, but now Leeds United has so many games, this is the distress of Leeds United's multi-line battle.

Even Albertini, who had previously advocated never giving up on any game, felt a little overwhelmed when he saw this, it really is overdone!

Leeds United will face Sheffield United in the next game. This is the weakest team in these games. However, for this game, the young players of Leeds United still attach great importance to it, because they know that if they lose this game, they will really have few chances to play later.

Now, the young players of Leeds United are fighting for more opportunities for them to play. Even in the hearts of these young players, the importance of this game is more important than the League Cup semi-final against Chelsea two days later.

Yes, for these young players and rotation players, the most important thing is the opportunity to play.

For this game, Zhong Cheng didn't have too many demands, and he could accept losing or winning. After all, the focus of Leeds United this season is in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. Zhong Cheng really doesn't pay much attention to these games, after all, he can't eat too much.

However, Zhong Cheng arranged the tactics in detail and let these young players fight on their own. Zhong Cheng does not put pressure on them, and has no requirements for grades. But I only told them that if you lose, your chances of playing this season will be cut by more than half.

The young players of Leeds United are naturally unwilling to see such a result. They are naturally cheering themselves up one after another. They hope to win this game and get more opportunities to play in the game.

The young players of Leeds United gathered together to unify their thinking and cheer for themselves.

Both Zhong Cheng and Albertini are very clear about the reaction of the young players of Leeds United.

This game is an away game, but because the distance is not very far, they are all in Yorkshire. Therefore, Leeds United only went to Sheffield on the day of the game, and they went to face this game.

The British mainland didn't pay much attention to this game, because the games before the FA Cup in England didn't attract much attention, even Leeds United.

Moreover, the media reporters are very familiar with Leeds United's tactics and goals. This game must be handed over to young players, so what is there to pay attention to?

Therefore, the young players of Leeds United played this game in a very relaxed environment, which is really good for the young players of Leeds United.

━━━Separation line━━━

On the day of the game, there were still some Leeds United fans who came to the away game.

Today, Zhong Cheng formed a 4-1-3-2 formation, and the starting lineup is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Simon Mignolet

Back four [left to right]: Danny Rose, Mats Hummels, Ivanovic and Kyle Walker

Single midfielder: Stephen Mbia

Three forwards [left to right]: Gareth Bale, Yaya Toure and Yoann Gourcuff

Forwards: Robert Lewandowski and Aleksander Pato

This is the starting list of Leeds United today. Obviously, this is very different from the main lineup of Leeds United. Seeing the lineup of Leeds United, Sheffield United thinks that their Sheffield United will win this game.

At the beginning of the game, Sheffield United, who are in the British Championship, launched a fierce attack and besieged Leeds United. Their attack was very fierce, wave after wave. But Leeds United's defense is indeed very solid, and Leeds United's defensive system is really well built.

Originally, the Sheffield United players had poor skills at their feet. Under the crazy pressure of the Leeds United players, they really didn't have many opportunities. You can only open and close, long pass, or pass directly at a 45-degree angle.

In this way, the threat to Leeds United's defense is the least, and the players of Leeds United are also very defensive. Therefore, it seems that Sheffield United is occupying the upper peak and besieging Leeds United, but there is actually not much threat.

At this time, the young players of Leeds United also felt this. They gradually wanted to press outside and began to display their ambitions.

Yes, Leeds United players are not just here to take away a draw, they are here to win and advance to the next round.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Leeds United broke off the football in the backcourt. Danny Rose on the wing directly passed the football to Gareth Bale in front. Gareth Bale was like a human-shaped lightning, breaking through at a high speed along the side. The defensive players of Sheffield United gritted their teeth and caught up.

Gareth Bale and Danny Rose on the wing immediately flew wing to wing. Both of them were so fast that the Sheffield United players didn't know what to do. At this moment, Gareth Bale suddenly cut inward, the ball was passed, and the defensive player was passed.

Then he entered the penalty area and shot directly. The football roared and flew towards the goal of Sheffield United. The goalkeeper of the opponent did not respond.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, right back Kyle Walker made a 100-meter sprint, directly singled out Sheffield United's left defense line, and then directly swept the center. Alexander Pato from the center fell to the ground and sent the football into the Sheffield United goal.

Two to zero, Leeds United defeated Sheffield United from the British Championship and entered the next round of the FA Cup.
